Winter break is set for Dec. 23-Jan. 3 and spring break for April 7-11.The current collective bargaining agreement between the district and Mukilteo Education Association expires on Aug. 31. Union members say there has been little movement on teachers' "priority issues." A general membership meeting is scheduled for Aug. 28, where teachers hope to vote on a tentative agreement."It's continuing, and that's really all I can say at this point," said Andy Muntz, a school district spokesman.
